Hornby Lake Outpost
Our outpost on Hornby Lake is 100 miles north of Red Lake. Hornby Lake is a moderately sized lake with many bays, islands, and fantastic scenery.
* Due to superb trophy angling, Hornby Lake is typically fully-booked a year in advance, but a wait list is available.
Fishing in this unspoiled lake is superb, with great numbers of both walleye and northern pike, including its fair share of trophy sized fish. We are the only tourist outfitter on the lake.
The Fishing
Fishing typically consists of mid-lake reefs and structure for walleye. Shallow weedy points and hidden inlets hold trophy class northern pike, similar to other locations. The several creeks and streams make for spectacular early season opportunities. Trophy northern pike and walleye are not uncommon at this location.
We have a strict catch and release policy for trophies, ensuring world class fishing for many generations to come.
The Cabin
Constructed on site, from local pine logs, the cabin provides two (2) bedrooms accommodating up to six (6) people, and features solar powered 120V lights and electricity. The cabin is very well equipped with a propane range, fridge, freezer, mattresses, and three-piece bathrooms (urinal, sink and shower), and complete with hot and cold running water. A charcoal barbecue on the deck is also included.
